Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Dig Three Feet into the Ground

In the Sky-reaching Library, the White Ball that was placed there could be used for traversing through the different floors, so, could one use that White Ball to travel to the kingdom where the fairies reside?

If that were possible, it would save a lot of trouble, eliminating the need to use a shovel to dig down layer by layer in an effort to reach the Fairy Kingdom.

Every time Yang Yu thought about rallying Bai Jin, Iyas, and the others to take up shovels and tirelessly dig deeper, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

The scene of ”you carrying the load, me digging the earth” was too beautiful. If by some carelessness they were to discover coal, he could very well transform into a coal mine owner, trying to persuade everyone in the Library to come and mine the coal.

The only downside was, according to what Ying Luo had said, if they were to dig deep, some grey energy would seep through the passages, and upon contact, his workers might get infected with an abnormal state, just like He Meng or Lotcar had.

Not only would that decrease the efficiency of the workers mining the coal, but he would also have to spend money to soothe their wounded spirits, thus skyrocketing the cost.

From the information known so far, this grey energy had minimal harm to humans, but this did not guarantee it was completely harmless.

The uncle who dug the basement probably felt palpitations because of the effect of the Grey Energy.

Furthermore, what leaked to the surface was certainly just a small part of the Grey Energy. If one were to come into contact with dense Grey Energy, nobody could guarantee the contact wouldn’t result in strange symptoms like convulsions and a complete lack of flavor.

If that really happened, his coal mine wouldn’t just go bankrupt—it would likely also incur a hefty sum in workers’ compensation.

So, cherish life, keep away from digging three feet into the ground.

Fortunately, in a twist of fate, Yang Yu held a trump card in his hand that could counter the Grey Energy.

The Revive Elixir’s effects were much stronger than he had initially thought.

After becoming a member of the Library, Yang Yu had considered whether to sell the Revive Elixir in exchange for the money to become a senior Library member.

The healing efficacy of the Revive Elixir had already been deeply ingrained in people’s hearts, thanks to the marketing strategies of the Silver Orchid Commerce.

Selling them was as simple as running to the auction house, verifying the Potions in hand were indeed Revive Elixirs, as easy as drinking water.

Moreover, Yang Yu had taken two key raw materials needed to make these Potions, and as far as logic dictated, the Silver Orchid Commerce should no longer be able to produce them. The Potions he was holding were now out of print, and with a bit of hype, making a billion off them wouldn’t be an issue at all.

But after some hesitation, Yang Yu ultimately couldn’t bring himself to sell them.

After all, medicine that could save lives in critical moments couldn’t be simply measured in terms of money.

Since there was no longer any way to acquire them, they should be treasured even more and not used unless absolutely necessary.

During the confrontation with Lotcar, Yang Yu’s use of the Revive Elixir was also a gamble after weighing his options multiple times.

Had he used the Resurrection Medicine on Lotcar and still obtained no information, Yang Yu figured he would probably pass out in the restroom.

Of course, Yang Yu made the final decision to use the Resurrection Medicine only after getting to know a part of Ying Luo’s personality, knowing that with Ying Luo’s character, she would never owe anyone anything.

”Speaking of which...”

Yang Yu suddenly remembered something,

”I wonder how the Silver Orchid Commerce is doing. I’ve been waiting here for them to send assassins, but I arrived at the All Things Library safe and sound.

Could it be... Am I not conspicuous enough? They couldn’t find me?

Or perhaps they are preoccupied with other matters and can’t afford to pay attention to me.

”Fine, since my level has hit the cap now, I’ll show off a bit after I get a new Racial Essence. Let’s see if I can lure those assassins to give me some Experience.

If they don’t come and deliver, their tiny bit of Experience won’t even be enough to pick my teeth with.”

Yang Yu should be thinking about how to enter the Fairy Kingdom, yet his thoughts couldn’t help but drift into the distance.

”...To seek the help of the fairies, I have no idea where to start.”

Hearing Ying Luo say this, Yang Yu refocused his mind, starting to think again about how to enter the Fairy Kingdom.

”You don’t have to worry about this, we have a way. Just stay here quietly and wait for our good news.”

Yang Yu gave Ying Luo a slight smile and signaled Tico to close the Barrier, leading the team to the nearby Sky-reaching Library.

Bai Jin and Iyas had no idea what Yang Yu was planning, but through their daily interactions, they knew that Yang Yu would not act without assurance. His decision to enter the Sky-reaching Library at this time must mean he had noticed something.

He Meng was still soaking in a jar, with a layer of gold fluid floating on its pale blue, gelatinous body. It was motionless, looking completely lifeless.

With just an unintentional glance, Bai Jin was already full of heartache.

Bai Jin knew that He Meng could not stay in this Status for too long. She also didn’t know how many Revive Elixirs Yang Yu had left, but such precious potions were dwindling with each use.

For He Meng’s safety, Yang Yu was using the Potions regardless of the cost.

If they didn’t find out the reason for He Meng’s condition and resolve it in time, when the potions were exhausted, He Meng would surely attack its companions without reason, just like before.

By then, others would definitely seize the opportunity to indict He Meng and send it for trial again.

Afterwards, no matter what they did, protecting He Meng would be difficult; they could only watch helplessly as it was isolated.

...

...

Upon entering the Fifth Sky Library and leading the team through the narrow passageways lined with bookshelves, Yang Yu approached the White Ball.

Before taking official action, Yang Yu emphasized that no matter what happened, they must not show fear or surprise and should maintain their composure as much as possible.

Iyas appeared relaxed; today’s Iyas was different from before.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder—a few days had passed, and Iyas had spent her time learning in the Library, absorbing much human knowledge.

Initially, Iyas was shocked at every strange thing she encountered, marveling at the ingenuity of humanity. But soon, her shock turned into pure curiosity: ”How does this thing work?” ”What principle is needed to create this?” She desired to understand more.

Iyas wanted to prove to Yang Yu that, if she wished, she could become an excellent scholar and show him that she was not to be underestimated.

Seeing the defiant look on Iyas’s face, Yang Yu smiled lightly and placed his hand on the massive White Ball.

The surface of the White Ball rippled, and Yang Yu simply stated the floor he wished to visit. Their bodies passed through the boundary of the White Ball, entering within it.

Looking into the vast white mist, Yang Yu assumed a knowing expression and began to speak slowly,

”Fairy in charge of this Barrier, you should be able to hear me, right? I want to ask about the management of this Library by humans and fairies together. Are you willing to answer my question from where you hide in the white mist?”
